BACKGROUND: Dural closure is an important part of any pediatric spinal procedure with intradural pathology to prevent post-operative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) egress and associated complications. Utilization of nonpenetrating titanium clips is one closure option that may have technical advantages such as ease of use and amenability to a narrow surgical corridor. No data exist on the efficacy of these clips for pediatric spinal dural closure. METHODS: A single surgeon case series of 152 pediatric patients underwent procedures involving lumbar durotomy with subsequent dural closure using the AnastoClip® nonpenetrating titanium clip closure system. Rates of infection and cerebrospinal fluid leak were measured during the follow-up period. RESULTS: A total of 152 pediatric patients (mean age: 6.25 ± 5.85 years, 50.7 % female) underwent intradural surgery with clip closure. The mean follow-up time was 57.0 ± 28.5 months. All patients were initially indicated for procedures involving spinal durotomy, with a majority being isolated tethered cord release (84.2 %). Others required tethered cord release and excision of a lipomyelomeningocele, spinal meningioma or arachnoid cyst (15.8 %). Post operative CSF leak occurred in two (1.32 %) patients at 11 and 18 days. Only one (0.66 %) patient was diagnosed with an infection, which was in a separate patient from those that had CSF leaks. CONCLUSION: The remarkably low incidence of post-operative CSF leak and infection with nonpenetrating titanium clips suggests a strong safety and efficacy profile for this form of dural closure in a pediatric cohort. Further research evaluating this technique is required to fully demonstrate its acceptability as a cost-effective alternative to traditional suture-based closure.
